Thirty-Seven Kings Legends of Kent & Records of the Family of Boys by Lilian Boys Behrens UNDER THIRTY-SEVEN KINGS LEGENDS OF KENT & RECORDS OF THE FAMILY OF BOYS BY LILIAN BOYS BEHRENS LONDON THE SAINT CATHERINE PRESS ST AM FORD STREET S.E. 1926 Dedicated to The Men of Kent and Kentish Men and to The Maids of Kent and Kentish Maids PREFACE T is with pleasure that I write a few words of introduction to this book, which records the legends an~ deeds of an historical family in some respects unique. The name of Boys has been known in Kent and other counties since 1066, when a knight of Wm. the Conqueror, one Richard de Bosco, landed on these shores. In later years the spelling of the name was changed to Boys, Boyes, Boyce and Bois. This Godfearing, honourable family have not only been always loyal to their King and Country, but have done much to help in the making of England and her colonies. This record is the result of long and earnest study from all available documents, and the author is very grateful to all her relations and friends who have so kindly assisted her in the work. The book will be found of great interest, not only to members of the family, but to archreologists and historians generally, and should. find a place in every public and private library. As all profits resulting from the sale of this work ( after publishing expenses are paid) are to go towards a fund to enlarge Jesus Hospital, Canterbury, it is hoped that it may obtain widespread and liberal support. MARTIN CONWAY. Allington Castle, Kent, June 28th, 1926. PUBLISHERS' NOTE HE Author of this book has T compiled it purely as a labour of love. It has beguiled many hours for her, and she had no intention of publishing what to her was a collection of notes in book form. Members of her family, however, have expressed a keen desire that the book should be issued. Historians and genea­ logical critics will no doubt bear this in mind when criticising the work.

When the Earl was outlawed, this Attwood went with him to France and took knightly service under the Dukes of Normandy. Dropping the first syllable of his name, and changing the other into French, he appears in the Battle Roll as de Bois. There would appear to be no documentary evidence extant to prove this transfer, but when any person of note was, for political reasons, turned out of England, or found it ad­ visable to leave, Normandy would be his natural refuge, and there was sufficient interchange between the cross-channel neighbours to save the legend from being quite improbable. i\.t all events, there is ample evidence that two men of the name fought under the invader at Hastings. Foxe's Acts and Monuments, vol. ii, records two de Bois as survivors of the battle, and Leland also mentions two, apart from the famous Battle Abbey Roll, drawn up in obedience to a clause in the Conqueror's foundation charter that enjoined the monks to pray for the souls of those who by their labour and valour had helped to win the kingdom. It is evident that the family of the de Bois was prolific, as well as distinguished, from the very beginning of the Norman period. Branches of the family that long flourished in Leicestershire and Northants traced their descent from the De Bois Arnaud, hereditary Stewards of the Counts of Breteuil, Sieurs de Poilly. Their signatures appear i11 the charter of William FitzOsbome. Robert de Bois and his brother held estates in Buckinghamshire 1086. It appears also that the stock extended into Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Bernard de Neumarche granted a barony to a de Bois in Brecknock, in 1088, named Trebois. The name of Wood was styled in old evidence and writs as de Bosco, and occurs at a very early period; and in a charter of William the Con­ queror the name found is Willelmus de Bosco, Cancellarius regis, and Hugo de Bosco is mentioned as a witness therein. Of the Scotch de Bois we read Sir Humphrey de Bois of Dryfes­ dale was slain at Lochmaben in 1333; he is supposed by Dalrymple to have been the ancestor of Hector Boyce, the historian. Aubert de A2 5 UNDER THIRTY-SEVEN KINGS Bois the Second, a family historian, furnished many facts regarding the English landed aristocracy. The Irish branch, which adopted the spelling " Boyce " and also claims descent from de Bosco, went over to Ireland in I 172 with Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, nicknamed Strongbow, the warlike but impecunious peer who had great influence in South Wales.

  • Anne Mowbray
    Anne Mowbray PHILOMENA JONES ‘ ON THURSDAY by ten of the clock before noon my young lady was christened and named Anne.’ Thus wrote John Paston the younger to Sir John Paston on the 18th December, 1472.1 She had been born 8 days earlier on Thursday, December 10th, at Framlingham Castle, Suffolk, the firstborn child of John Mowbray, fourth Duke of Norfolk, and his wife Elizabeth Talbot. 0n the 16th January, 1476, within a few weeks of Anne’s third birthday, her father died leaving her as his sole heiress. Ten days later it was already known that King Edward IV was seeking the hand of the young heiress for his younger son Richard, Duke of York.2 Lady Anne became a ward of the Crown and by August 1476 her lands were in the King’s hands and he was involving himself in their running. On the 2nd August, 1476, he confirmed a grant made by the late Duke of Norfolk to Laurence Fayreclough, esquire, Marshall of the Kings Hall of custody of the manors of Fenystanton and Hylton in Huntingdonshire and the park of Weston Baldock, Hertfordshjre.a In December of the same year he granted to Ralph Grenned, Clerk of the King’s kitchen, the office of the Feodary of the Duke of Norfolk’s estates in Surrey and Sussex, and to Robert Wingfield, knight, Controller of the Household the office of Steward of the Mowbray estates in Norfolk and Suffolk.4 Meanwhile negotiations between the King and the Duchess of Norfolk were proceeding. 0n the 12th June, 1476, the King granted his son Richard the title of Earl of Nottingham which had formerly been held by the Duke of Norfolk.

Rolls of Parl. Begun at the Black Friars, London, 3 Nov. 21 Hen. VIII., the King being present the fi rst day. Sir Thos. More as chancellor declared the cause of its being summoned,1 viz., to reform such things as have been used or permitted in England by inadvertence, or by the changes of time have become inexpedient, and to make new statutes and laws where it is thought fi t. On these errors and abuses he discoursed in a long and elegant speech, declaring with great eloquence what was needful for their reformation, and in the end he ordered the Commons in the King’s name to assemble next day in their accustomed house and choose a Speaker, whom they should present to the King. That grievances might be examined, receivers and triers of petitions were appointed for the present Parliament, whose names were read out in French by the clerk of the Parliaments in the usual fashion. Receivers of petitions from England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland:—Sir John Taillour, Sir Will. Knyght, Sir John Wolman, Sir Roger Lupton. Of Gascony and parts beyond sea:—Sir Steph. Gardiner, Sir Jo. Throkmerton, Sir Thos. Newman. [2690] Tr iers of petitions from England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland:—The archbishop of Canterbury, the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, the marquises of Dorset and Exeter, the bishop of London, the earl of Shrewsbury, viscounts Lisle, Fitzwater, and Rocheford, the abbot of Westminster, and Sir John FitzJames.

EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

Material on the subject of travel in any century is apparently inexhaustible, and one could write many books on the subject without duplicating sources. The following aims no further than to describe one phase of Renais- sance travel in clear and sharp outline, with sufficient illustration to embellish but not to clog the main ideas. In the preparation of this book I incurred many debts of gratitude. I would thank the staff of the Bodleian, especially Mr W. H. B.

  • A History of Ash and Its Churches
    A History of Ash and its Churches The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold. In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'. It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.
